Lonely Crowd

A Study of the Changing American Character

Considered by many to be one of the most influential books of the twentieth century, "The Lonely Crowd" opened exciting new dimensions in our understanding of the problems confronting the individual in twentieth-century America. Richard Sennett's new introduction illuminates the ways in which Riesman's analysis of a middle class obsessed with how others lived still resonates in the age of social media.
